+The staff were very friendly but not efficient. We asked to have our room done abt 1 pm. Upon our 6 pm return it was not done. We asked to at least have more coffee & cream pods. After dinner at 8 pm we had to go to the desk and ask again. They gave them to us and we took them to our room. As for the room itself, it was nice but outside traffic noise was loud as was a local rooster who crowed abt 5 am.

+We didn’t like needing to haul luggage up steps to get into the hotel nor did we like the slow single elevator but it was clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient and the staff is friendly. For this area, it is reasonably priced though be aware that they will add a resort fee even if you prepaid and will not use the small pool.

+GREAT low key mom and pop hotel in Waikiki. The last family owned and operated hotel in Waikiki. Nice bar - Matt is a wonderful bartender with lots of knowledge of what to go and see and where to find things while on Oahu. Lincoln and the rest of the front office make you feel like family. Just a warm fun place to stay!!

+Overall the stay was good. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Rooms/hallways could definitely use some updating (chipped paint in a few spots etc). Easy walk to Ala Moana Mall and Beach. Very helpful that they stored my luggage on checkout day as I checked out at 11am but my flight wasn’t until 11pm.

+The staff at Equus is top-notch! Lincoln, Radiant, Miss Renee, and Matt at the bar were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. Made for a nice vibe and felt very comfortable during the stay. The hotel was very convenient for all we did,walkable to the beach and dining options! Would stay here over any of the other busy hotels.

+We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Equus, Waikīkī's last family-owned and operated boutique hotel. From the vintage decor to the amazing staff, the Equus was a great place to start our stay on Oahu. It's within walking distance of several restaurants, the beach and the marina. Things I loved: the staff, the decor, the location and the mattress. Especially the staff. They truly made us feel like ohana. Things I didn't love: the parking (very limited); the bathroom (very dark and no privacy, not even a ventilation fan); and no elevator from the parking to the lobby.

+Staff was great, room clean but very outdated, and the elevator does not extend to the street so have to carry bags upstairs.
